Every business, large or small, can financially benefit from a healthier workforce by investing in wellness programs. Healthy employees equate to reductions in absenteeism, higher productivity and office morale. For the employer this means less money is spent on health care costs and insurance premiums which ultimately gives you a more successful and profitable business. By investing a small amount of time and money to keep your employees healthy will ensure the success of your business.
Why invest in Corporate Wellness?
US healthcare costs weigh in at over $1.8 trillion. Employee healthcare has gone from 7%, nearly 30 years ago, to an abundant 50% of corporate profits. That’s why today, more companies are investing serious time and effort into incorporating employee health and wellness programs and services. Through early detection, intervention and ongoing education, these programs are designed to enhance and maintain the health of employees. Reports can be generated (by client) to show the economic impact on your average medical claims costs, including group summaries that will allow you to fine-tune your wellness efforts.
You provide benefits when they’re sick, why not keep them healthy?
With over 50% of illness and death related to our lifestyle - what we eat, if we smoke, how we handle stress, if we exercise - it only makes “cents” to keep people healthy. Promoting employee wellness awareness and targeting lifestyle changes can give your employees the information and motivation they need to modify their lifestyles and give you a better return on your investment. For a surprisingly affordable cost, you can provide your employees invaluable benefits that will pay you dividends as well.
The rewards are endless…
…and priceless! Providing employees with unique and innovative programs that lower health care costs, reduce injury and workers compensation claims, lower absenteeism rates, while improving employee morale and productivity is our main goal. We promote better-balanced and more productive lives. With an emphasis on education, we teach your employees practical ways to incorporate a variety of wellness tools into their existing lifestyles.
The Rewards?
Reduced Healthcare Costs. A whopping 21% to 58% of medical claims result from preventable risk factors, like poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and high stress. Helping employees reduce these risk factors could potentially reduce or eliminate 30% to 60% of health plan costs.
Improved Productivity. Migraines, joint pain, and other stress-related complaints generate about 25% of primary care medical visits in the U.S. Employees cannot work at full potential provide outstanding service, or make good decisions when in pain. Stress reduction programs can produce quick financial returns by reducing such somatic complaints.
Increased Employee Retention. Demonstrated concern for employee wellbeing can pay big dividends in employee loyalty. With turnover costs ranging from 50% to 200% of annual salary, loyalty positively impacts profitability. Smart businesses retain the people who keep them in business, and they keep them healthy.
